Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese (low-fat or full-fat)
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (plain or panko)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir until the mixture is evenly blended and well-seasoned.
  3. Prepare Egg Wash: In another bowl, beat the eggs until frothy to help the coating stick to the cottage cheese balls.
  4. Coat Cottage Cheese Balls: Scoop spoonfuls of the cottage cheese mixture, dip each into the beaten eggs to coat thoroughly, then roll them in breadcrumbs until they’re evenly covered.
  5. Bake: Place the coated cottage cheese balls on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and develop a crispy exterior.
  6. Serve: Remove from oven and serve warm accompanied by your favorite dipping sauce for a delightful snack or appetizer.

Notes

  • Use panko breadcrumbs for extra crunchiness.
  • Feel free to add herbs like parsley or chives to the mixture for added flavor.
  • To make this recipe gluten-free, substitute regular breadcrumbs with gluten-free breadcrumbs.
  • Ensure the balls are evenly coated to get consistent crispiness.
  • These treats are best served fresh from the oven for maximum crunch.
